Chapter 1360 Longwu Six Years
Sitting at the top, the 48-year-old emperor Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath.

"You all sit down."

Those who stood up sat down obediently.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Xiao Ruxun did not directly express her opinion, but turned to look at Xiao Zhenbang who was sitting behind him.

Xiao Zhenbang is 25 years old and has grown into an adult. From the beginning, Xiao Ruxun took him to handle some daily government affairs, so that he was familiar with the operation methods of government affairs and the usual evasion methods used by officials.

Xiao Zhenbang stood up.

"I believe that this matter is not someone's fault, nor is it the fault of the exam, but a series of problems caused by the short establishment of the new school education system. Cai Butang is right, education is the country's major plan , It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person. It is abnormal in education to see immediate results.

The establishment of a university hall needs to take into account many things. The follow-up expenditure far exceeds the construction expenditure. Qualified teachers, qualified sacrificial wine, qualified local environment, and various unexpected things need to be spent, so this is also Where the Ministry of Finance is beyond its reach.

If we want to solve this problem, we don’t need to do anything right away, we just need to implement step by step according to the current plan. In less than ten years, this problem will be solved naturally. Looking back at that time, it may be very funny. Feel. "

After Xiao Zhenbang finished speaking, he sat down.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the officials.

"Have you heard what the prince said?"

"Yes."

The ministers replied.

"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is not something that can be achieved immediately by increasing financial expenditure. Do what the imperial court plans to do. Don't talk about what is there or what is not, and don't quarrel too much. It is meaningless."

"I am frightened."

"The minister made a slip of the tongue."

Xu Jinguang and Chen Yuan stood up and admitted their mistakes.

Xiao Ruxun asked them to sit down.

"Education is a century-old project, and there is no rush to select officials. If there is a shortage of officials, then try to arrange as many officials as possible to go to these bitter cold places for more experience. All newly selected officials must go to bitter cold places for more experience. The farther they go, The more desolate and bitter the cold, the more care you will get for promotion in the future.

This was arranged by me early in the morning. Grass-roots officials in remote areas will be promoted first. All officials selected after the eighth year of Longwu will have to go to remote and bitter cold places to practice for more than three years before they can be called back. With these policies as a foundation, the lack of officials is not the biggest problem. The problem, Chen Butang, don't worry too much. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Yuan expressed his understanding.

"But the issue of education is not a simple matter. It is important to follow the steps step by step, but let more people study and let more people know how to read. This is the goal I set early on. Now the population of Daqin has increased greatly. The need for education will be greater, Xie Butang."

Xiao Ruxun called Xie He's name. Since the end of the land reform mission, Xiao Ruxun transferred Xie He, who had experienced all over the country, back to the central government to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He worked there for eight years.

Hearing Xiao Ruxun's roll call, Xie He immediately stood up.

"His Majesty."

"How is Daqin's census doing this year?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this year's census has ended. The new population of Daqin this year is 370, which is 730 more than last year. Now Daqin has a population of more than 27 million."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Since the first census in the third and fourth years of Longwu, it has been 16 years. The population of Daqin has increased by more than 3000 million. I am very happy. Such a large population increase also proves that the work of the ministers and workers has never been slack. It is a real achievement, and it will be recorded in the annals of history, and all the ministers and workers should not underestimate themselves."

"The minister obeys the order."

All the ministers said in unison.

"Of course, this is not the end. There is no end to governing the country. So many people need to eat, so many people need to see a doctor and study, all of which are expenditures and tasks of the state. If they can't eat enough, they can't afford it. If you don’t want to study and look down on doctors, that’s the country’s incompetence, your incompetence!”

Xiao Ruxun stretched out his fingers and circled the senior officials of the whole Daqin. The officials lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"It's been 20 years. It's been 20 years since I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor. In the past 20 years, I have asked myself that none of the things I have done are not for the well-being of the people, and none of them are not for the prosperity of Great Qin."

Saying this, Xiao Ruxun stood up, pacing, and at the same time told out his achievements one by one like a few treasures.

"At the end of the first year and the beginning of the second year of Longwu, I conquered Jurchen, quelled Yang Yinglong's rebellion, crusaded against Japan, and established the three major campaigns to stabilize the Great Qin. In the sixth year of Longwu, I sent troops to capture Hetao and pacify Qinghai.

In the seventh year of Longwu, we conquered Khalkha in the north, wiped out Chahar, conquered Horqin, flattened the left-wing Mongolia, wiped out Khalkha, marched into the North Sea, wiped out the northern captives, and our martial arts went far beyond Han and Tang.

In the 13th year of Longwu, I led the army to march westward and crusade against the four tribes of Oala, Junggar, Turhut, Heshuote, and Durbert. I fought against them and destroyed them, bringing the Qin army to the place where only the Tang army can arrive. past place.

In the 14th year of Longwu, the Chagatai Kingdom killed our merchants and ordinary people. In a fit of anger, I mobilized troops to attack Chagatai. In order to destroy it, the Western Regions will be taken back into the bag, and the Western Regions will be reset.

In the 15th year of Longwu, the leader of the tribe in the Wusi Snow District killed our merchants. I sent troops to attack them. It has been five years, and Daqin has wiped out all the evil neighbors around. Throughout the ages, who can do it? "

Xiao Ruxun walked behind every courtier, circled around, returned to his chair, and sat down slowly.

"I say this not to boast of my achievements. There is no need to boast of real achievements, and all people will sing them. I say this to let you know what a huge country you are governing, and what a great country it is. nation."

Xiao Ruxun picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

"Have you heard what His Majesty said?"

Xu Guangqi took up the conversation.

"Yes."

The ministers replied.

"Now that you have heard it, you must understand your majesty's expectations for you. Great Qin is so huge that it has never been seen before. The area we can control and govern is not as much as imagined. It is really not easy to digest such a large country. things, but as long as the policies are in place, there is nothing we cannot do."

"Yes."

The ministers replied again.

"Okay, having said all this, I want you to understand the burden on your shoulders. Daqin's territory is unprecedentedly large, but our prefectures and counties have not yet completed the planning, let alone construction. The army is guarding the border far away. Although the captives are driven to graze , Replenishment is not easy.

It does not mean that it belongs to us, and it does not necessarily mean that it belongs to us. It is not necessary to immigrate to govern, just choose the key place, but you must master what should be mastered. This is of great significance to us and future generations. I hope all ministers Work hard. "

"The minister obeys the order."

The officials stood up and expressed their obedience to the emperor.
